Funko TMNT Wave 2 – April O’Neil, Foot Soldier, Bebop, & Rocksteady Pop! Vinyl Figures Review

Funko’s second wave of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles includes April O’Neil, The Foot Soldier, Bebop, and Rocksteady all based on the classic animated series. These TMNT Pop! Vinyl Figures are some of the best and our favorite Pop!’s and we hope that Funko continues this line. There are plenty of more characters still to make and if anyone can keep the classic look and style to some of those classic characters, it’s Funko.
Disclosure – Special thanks to our friends at Funko for sending these along to us to review.
Availability: July 2014
April O’Neil – April includes her show accurate red hair, yellow outfit, white shoes, and even a microphone as she is a news reporter and an ally to the Turtles. She is sculpted with hair that comes down around the sides and back, and features details such as a belt, eye brows, and pockets in her yellow outfit.
Foot Soldier – The Foot has some texture on the bottom of his mask, around the sides and the back showing the folds. This exploding robot was designed by Kraang as Shredder’s army, and includes sculpted armor on his arms, throwing star sculpted on his chest, and sculpted folds on his belt and clothing.
Bebop – This Pop! stands out from most other Pop! figures as he does not have the standard round eyes, and instead was sculpted with the show-accurate glasses and rectangle eyes. It’s great to see Funko go the extra mile here and choose show-accurate, instead of what’s considered as the normal for the line. Bebop has a mohawk, earring, nose ring, Turtle shell shoulder pads, chains around his wrists, bone necklace, shoulder strap with ammo, grenades sculpted to his shirt, a chain belt, red vest, pants, and red sneakers. There is a lot of small detail here to make him as show accurate as possible, and Funko delivered.
Rocksteady – His head sculpt includes a smooth bald head, long points ears, horn, and a grin showing his teeth on both sides of his nose. His body is also very detailed with a shoulder strap with ammo, grenade sculpted on his shirt, Turtle shells on both sides of his legs, a knife with a sheath sculpted on his back, and pants with pockets sculpted on.
Overall:
Show accuracy is key and we love what Funko has done. While it would have been nice to see Rocksteady and Bebop holding their weapons, the amount of detail added to their bodies is excellent and we hope to see this line continue. This is an excellent wave and so far our favorite.
Highly Recommended.
